If he kept denying it, Adam would only latch onto that even more, so Javi just shrugged. Heâd been doing a lot of that lately. Pretending not to care about a lot of things. âShe has an interesting personality,â Javi said carefully. âI did not know she is your cousin. Who is staying with you. So her last name is McDowell?â
The way Javi says enough to say something but not actually answer the question has Adam curious, but he wonât torture them both by dwelling on it. âYeah. She does.â He nods, trying his best not to laugh.
He is a little surprised that Javi didnât know that Violet was a part of the McDowell family, but thatâs just the part of him that grew up in a small town. He expects everyone knows everything. âNah, sheâs got my motherâs maiden name. Forsythe.â
